Steuben primary results too close to call

BATH | It will likely take about a week to determine the winners of several close Steuben County primary races.

The Steuben County Board of Elections has not yet counted absentee votes that could change the results of some close races.

Joseph Welch, Steuben County Democratic commissioner, said all absentee votes must be counted by Tuesday.

"We have to finish counting our absentees and write in votes by Tuesday of next week," Welch said. "For close races, the Board of Elections contacts candidates and party leaders to schedule a time they can watch our counting."
